Wappu reaches its grand finale with a massive celebration in Kaivopuisto, organized together with Helga, HUMAKO, Laureamko, METKA and O’Diako. The festivities kick off bright and early in the morning!

Student unions will also host program on May Day. At 12 a bingo begins, where you can win amazing prizes from Punainen Kuu. You can still grab a stamp for your Wappupass and redeem your overall patch from the student union that provided the pass. There will also be a variety of awesome patches and other merchandise available, so definitely come check them out!
